SUMMARY:The People Versus with special guests The Lost Notes and support from Patrick Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Big Ginger Tom Music are pleased to bring you two local acts plus an up and coming Birmingham based band to Harwell Village Hall. \nThe People Versus have been quickly recognised as one of the most exciting talents coming out of the Folk Music scene\, bringing their harmonies\, driving rhythms and storytelling tradition to the forefront of their sound. Their combined voices and instrumental lines swoop\, circle and support the beguiling voice and personality of the lead singer Alice. Each song is taut with feeling and longing\, inspired by Greek myth and tales from Shakespeare. \n“The resulting sound is Dreamy… it just pulls you in.” – BBC introducing\n“much too sweet to be manning the barricades” – Nightshift Magazine \nSpecial guests\, The Lost Notes are a 5-piece band based in Worcestershire and Birmingham and will be performing at this gig as a trio.  The principal songwriters are Ben and Oli.  Oli likes folk and Ben digs jazz and he resulting music is part folk with a drag of soul roots\, a slug of gospel or just downright country with a thump of jazz around the edges. \nSupport is from the ever improving singer songwriter Patrick Griffin who gave such a great performance here in Harwell last September. \nTickets are £15 from Duncan at biggingertommusic@gmail.com or on-line* at www.WeGotTickets.com *plus on-line booking fee \nDoors and bar open at 7:00pm\, Music at 7:30pm \nPlease note we are planning for the worst case scenario of still having social distancing in place so there will only be 40 tickets available until Covid restrictions have been lifted.

SUMMARY:The Magpies with support from Craig Joiner
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to welcome The Magpies to Harwell Village Hall. \nIt has only been a short space of time since The Magpies burst onto the UK folk scene\, but they have already made a huge impression with their fresh brand of transatlantic neo-folk and have been ‘making waves wherever they play’ (Phil Beer\, Show of Hands). \nBased on a deeply felt musical friendship\, The Magpies work collaboratively\, arranging material led by powerful vocals and glittering instrumental ornamentation. They each draw on their wide-ranging influences to create a unique blend of transatlantic folk\, transporting audiences to distant lands and capturing imaginations with their enthralling live show. \nThree accomplished musicians in their own right\, The Magpies is a combination far greater than the sum of its parts. Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Award winning guitarist\, banjo-player and singer Bella Gaffney is known for her folk inspired songs which she performs along with her own original arrangements of traditional pieces. Said to be ‘one of the best banjo players in the country’ (Dan Walsh)\, clawhammer banjo player and singer Kate Griffin’s compositions fuse influences from the British Isles\, America and India. And acclaimed fiddle-player Holly Brandon is an ‘ingenious tunesmith’ (Living Tradition)\, with roots in traditional English music\, but with influences from Eastern Europe to Quebec\, she creates a distinctly borderless and progressive sound.\nIn their live performances The Magpies have been exceptionally well-received. Their first year as a band in 2018 saw them perform at festivals such as Cambridge Folk Festival and on main stages at Wickham Festival\, Towersey Festival and Deer Shed Festival. 2019 saw their first international shows\, with performances at Folk Alliance International in Montreal\, a successful tour in Ireland and performances at Costa del Folk in Portugal. And the summer saw many more festival performances including Glastonbury\, Larmer Tree\, Warwick and Shambala. \nTheir debut album – Tidings – was released in June 2020 to critical acclaim. A rich and varied showcase of their live sound\, the album draws on a range of influences and delivers a sound that can only be described as contemporary. A huge range of exquisite instrumentation on mandolin\, guitar\, fiddle\, cello\, bouzouki and banjo provide a thrilling canvas on which they paint their stories. The album is full of songs which explore uniquely female experiences in unpredictable and surprising ways. From the transformation and sorcery of the traditional ballad The Two Magicians\, to lost love\, murder and suicide in the original Run River Run\, The Magpies bring a fresh voice to the current milieu. As well as drawing on their experiences as women\, the material is also deeply rooted in the traditions of their native Yorkshire. \n‘One of those effervescent albums you’d be happy to recommend to people who might not consider themselves folk fans’ – The Sunday Times \n‘Folk with finesse’ – The Daily Mail \n‘Check that album out! Really good mix of songs and instrumentals – they’re great players!’ – Mark Radcliffe\, BBC Radio 2 \nSupport is from Craig Joiner who did a sterling job when he was last at Harwell supporting Kitty Macfarlane. \nTickets are £15 and are available from https://www.wegottickets.com/event/509147 \nDoors and bar 7pm\, music at 7:40pm.

SUMMARY:Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage with support from Thom Ashworth
DESCRIPTION:Huddled round a single microphone\, singing intimate duets with just mountain dulcimer\, dobro and guitar\, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage are an acoustic duo that sound classically timeless\, yet their music is unique. Since emerging in 2016\, the duo recorded two studio albums\, Before the Sun (2016) and Awake (2018)\, produced by award winning producer David Travers-Smith in Toronto. Both albums have gathered praise for the craft and skill of their musical writing and arranging.  \nThey have shared stages and opened shows for Americana and folk luminaries such as Sarah Jarosz\, Martin Simpson\, Seth Lakeman and Oh Susanna. Fleetingly\, they may evoke a memory of Gram & Emmylou\, Shirley & Davey\, or Gillian & David but their distilling of musical influences from both sides of the Atlantic produces a refined sound that is decidedly their own.  \nTheir unique unplugged presentation creates a widescreen\, cinematic soundscape with open spaces and atmosphere\, giving their beautifully pure vocals room to share the songs’ emotion and narrative.   \nThe material is as joyful and fun as it is intense\, but the common factor is the duo’s warmth and confidence in each other; their natural ease and connection is clearly evident on the recorded music\, and a genuine pleasure to witness on stage.   \n‘Dreamy reveries\, softly warm vocals\, stirring guitar arrangements – Sanders & Savage wield an elusive sort of magic’ MOJO  \n‘An exquisite soundscape\, which is the result of passion\, precision and unbridled intimacy’ ★★★★★ R2 Magazine   \n‘A stream of brilliant music – they should be rated among the elite when it comes to UK folk’ Rob Ramsey\, Maverick  \n‘A confident and impressive sophomore album that not only fully justifies past predictions regarding Sanders trajectory in the current folk field but also marks the arrival of a significant new duo force.’ Folk Radio UK \nSupport will be from Thom Ashworth who shows that base acoustic guitar has a distinctive instrumental voice can find a home in folk music\, and that 4 strings are enough to delve into the canon of British folk music. \nIn anticipation that social distancing measure could still be in place tickets are £15 and there will only be about 40 available. More tickets will be made available if circumstances allow. \nDoors and bar at 7pm\, music at 7:40pm.
